摘要:
The invention relates to a gas turbine assembly which substantially includes at least one compressor, at least one first burner, at least one second burner that is connected downstream of the first burner, and at least one turbine that is connected downstream of the second burner. At least the first and second burner form a component of a tubular or quasi-tubular combustion chamber element in the flow direction of the combustion path of the burners. The combustion chamber element being closed or quasi-closed and extending between the compressor and the turbine. The combustion chamber elements are arranged around the rotor of the gas turbine assembly in the shape of a ring.

A configuration for coating a turbine component such as a blade or vane with various forms of thermal barrier coating to provide enhanced temperature capability and increased strain tolerance is disclosed. A gas path surface of the platform, airfoil and airfoil fillet region are first coated with a bond coating. A dense vertically cracked (DVC) thermal barrier coating is then applied to at least the gas path surface of the platform and can be applied to the fillet region. A porous thermal barrier coating is then applied to at least the airfoil. The porous thermal barrier coating can also be applied over the DVC thermal barrier coating if desired.
摘要:
A method for removing mercury from flue gases generated by the combustion of coal comprises: storing a starter batch of activated carbon in an agglomerated state; de-agglomerating the starter batch in a separation device to create a contact batch of activated carbon; transporting the contact batch to a contact location; injecting the contact batch into contact with the flue gas at a contact location having a temperature between 400° F. and 1100° F., whereupon the activated carbon of the contact batch adsorbs mercury from the flue gas; and removing the activated carbon having mercury adsorbed thereon from the flue gas. The transporting step is conducted with substantially no intermediate storage of the contact batch following the de-agglomeration of the starter batch to prevent re-agglomeration of the activated carbon prior to injection.
摘要:
A gas turbine vane to improve vane performance by addressing known failure mechanisms. A cooling circuit to the trailing edge of a vane airfoil is fed from the outer diameter platform, which prevents failure due to an oxidized and eroded airfoil trailing edge. The gas turbine includes an outer diameter platform, a hollow airfoil and an inner diameter platform with a plurality of cooling tubes extending radially through the airfoil. The cooling tubes are open at the outer diameter end and closed with covers at the inner diameter end. The inner diameter platform is also cooled and includes a meterplate for a portion of the cooling passageway and includes an undercut to improve thermal deflections of the inner diameter platform.

A system and method for removing at least carbon from a fuel/air mixture prior to injection of the fuel/air mixture into a combustion system is disclosed. The system fully integrates the combined cycle power plant with carbon scrubbing of the fuel/air mixture to increase overall cycle efficiency while capturing carbon from the cycle. A portion of the compressed air source generated by the gas turbine compressor is provided to a premixer where it is mixed with a natural gas to form a fuel/air mixture. The fuel/air mixture passes through a catalytic partial oxidation (CPOX) reactor, which utilizes a precious metal to partially oxidize the hydrocarbons into carbon monoxide. The mixture passes through a shift reactor to complete generation of carbon dioxide and raise hydrogen yield of the fuel/air mixture. Carbon constituents are then removed from the mixture by a separator.

A compressor component having an airfoil with a profile in accordance with Table 1 is disclosed. The compressor component, such as a compressor blade, has an increased thickness over a portion of the airfoil span in order to increase stiffness. Furthermore, the airfoil has been restacked so as to induce a compressive stress in the blade root/attachment area. The increased stiffness and restacked airfoil combine to improve high-cycle fatigue capability of the compressor component.

A combustor end cap assembly having an improved cooling configuration is disclosed. Embodiments of the present invention are directed towards an apparatus and method for cooling an effusion plate of the combustor end cap assembly. The combustor end cap assembly also incorporates an impingement plate having a plurality of cooling holes with the impingement plate positioned a predetermined distance from the effusion plate. The cooling fluid passes through the impingement plate and is directed towards and onto the effusion plate for cooling of the effusion plate.

The present invention discloses various methods for repairing a side seal region of a transition duct aft frame region. Embodiments of the present invention include application of a braze filler material to worn locations of seal teeth, brazing of a braze preform to the seal teeth or removal of a worn seal tooth and brazing of material compatible with the transition duct to form a replacement tooth of the side seal. The transition duct is brazed in a furnace in an incremental heated process which elevates the transition duct to a temperature where the braze filler material adheres to the side seal region while also providing a stress relief to the transition duct.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for operating a gas turbine (11) comprising a compressor (14), which is equipped with variable inlet guide vanes (13) and receives at its inlet an inlet air flow, which has passed a temperature-affecting air inlet system (12a), a combustor (15, 15′) and a turbine (16, 16′). In a closed loop control scheme, a control variable indicative of the turbine outlet temperature (TAT2) is generated, and the air inlet system (12a) and/or the variable inlet guide vanes (13) are controlled in accordance with said control variable such that the turbine outlet temperature (TAT2) is kept at or above a desired setting value (TAT2min).
